Most people tend to use commas in the same way and don't deviate. In fact, there is a common misconception that a comma just represents a "break" and can be used willy-nilly any time a writer feels like it. Not quite. Reflect on what ways you use commas (from Owl's list). What comma rut have you been stuck in?

Practice, in your next writing assignment, email, or writing task, using them in more than one way by identifying one or two from Owl's list that you didn't know about already - making a conscious effort to use commas to build intentional flow in your writing.
